In plain words

This is a browser-based virtual breadboard inspired by Ben Eater's 6502 computer projects. It allows users to build and test circuits directly in their web browser without physical components. The tool is designed for hobbyists, students, and electronics enthusiasts who want to learn about circuit design and 6502 microprocessor architecture. It provides an interactive way to experiment with digital electronics concepts online.

  • Breadboard – A modern HyperCard for building web apps on the canvasFeb 2026 · breadboards.io · ▲93

    Hey HN! I’m Simone. We re-built Breadboard, a visual app builder that mixes Figma-style UI design with Shortcuts-style logic so you can build, preview, and publish interactive web apps directly from the canvas. What it does Design UIs visually with a flexible canvas –like Figma–. Define app logic with a visual, instruction-stacked editor inspired by Shortcuts. Live preview apps directly on the canvas –no separate preview window–. Publish working web apps with one click. Why we made it Modernize the HyperCard idea: combine layout, behavior, and instant sharing in one place. Reduce friction…

    This is a little toy project of mine that lets you simulate digital logic graphs. It was inspired by Minecraft's Redstone and the Piet esolang. It's got some serious drawbacks-- you write circuits as PNGs and simulate them with a Python interface. It's slow to run and slow to experiment with. And it is certainly difficult to use for people with any kind of color blindness. But despite that, I hope this can still be a fun toy!
